The Memorial Diplonzatique contains the follow■ ing notice of Garibaldi's speeches in England : At London the Conference commences its labours, Garibaldi takes leave of his entertainers, All this is as it should be. We will net row revert to the conduct of the too famous Italian agitator. But, whatever may have been the object of his journey, whatever may be its future results, one great and serious truth has been added to history, it is this —that Southern Italy is indebted to Engand for the bloody anarchy which has laid her waste for the last four years. " Represented by Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell," said Gari baldi, "the English Government has done much for Italy. Without Admiral Mundy I should not have been able to pass the Straits of Messina, and Naples would still be in the power of the Bourbons." How sad soever such a ovals may be, we must acknowledge, we must meditate upon them. They make the complicity of Englnd plain, a complicity which hitherto her statesmen have steadily denied. The consequences of such complicity are but too manifest. In destroying the security of Piedmont, and the tranquillity of Italy, England has compro mised at one blow the political position of Europe. The Peace of Villafranea being rendered ineffectual, the powers have been violently thrown into a false position, and the whole of Eastern Europe has ex perienced an uneasiness, which continues on the increase. What did Napoleon the Third, a grieved and anxious witness of the painful necessities of war, seek for after the victory of Solferino ? He has told himself. Desirous of preserving Europe from the outbreak of revolutionary passions, he wished for a solid peace, a general disarmament. England alone, paralysing his generous efforts, opposed her self to this. By her fault the stipulations of Villa franca remained a dead letter, and the Italian Go vernment was dragged into the course of culpable ambitions and foolish hopes, in which it continues to this day. Then, at a later period, not content with having provoken the movement and encou raged the insurrection, England, by her example and her importunities, induced Russia and Prussia to recognise the accomplished facts. Henceforth, there is no difficulty in understanding the devia tions of general politics in Europe during the last four years. After this, how can we be astonished when we now see Prussia attacking, destroying, not indeed directly, but by her actions, the Treaty of London, whose application she strives to render impossible ? She does no more than follow the lessons she has received. And from whence have they been given ? Who has impelled her to dismember piecemeal at the Kingdom of Denmark ? Is it France—always accused of secret designs, and to whom all revolu tions are gladly imputed ? No ; we must say that it is those powers who are reputed to be the most Conservative on whom rests the present responsi bi►ity of the disturbance and uneasiness which per. vades Europe. MONEY 111 ARKS T AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Lower rates n ow prevail in the general discount market. The simultaneous appearance this morn ing of two favourable returns from the Banks of England and France have produced a feeling of satisfaction for the present and of hope for the future. More money is also known to be in the possession of the bankers and bill brokers, and as there is less enquiry for accommodation, competi tion has caused the quotations to descend to 81 per cent. for first-class bills, About £63,000 in gold was taken into the Bonk yesterday. The steamer La Plata has been announced from the West Indies with £220,000. The directors of the Bank of Wales (Limited) have concluded arrangements for the transfer of the old-established private banking business of Messrs. Lock, Hular, and Co., of Pembroke and Tenby. Mr. Joseph Canham, M.D., St. Lawrence, Rams gate (late Burgess, Canham, and Co., bankers), one of the partners of the Ramsgate Bank, recently merged into the South-Eastern Banking Company, has joined the hoard of the latter establishment. Mr William James Watson, of Messrs, haggard and Co., h as j o i ne d the Board of the Scot t Scottish and Universal Finance Bank. During the last few days there has been a mo derate amount of business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have besn in rather active request at full rates, while there has been a better demand for coffee, superior de scriptions of colonial having realised enhanced prices. In rice, fruit, and spices there has been about an average business, while the tallow market has continued very dull, and quotations have shown less firmness. The Bank of England return for the week to Wednesday last shows some important changes. The other securities have been increased through the high rate for money charged in the open mar ket, but the bullion and reserve of notes have like wise received some large additions.

No fresh political con• troversies arising, and the reassuring facts shown in the Bank returns of England and France, have produc©d a salutary effect. Consols are 3-16th better than yesterday, the quotations being 917 1 for money, and 904 1, l ess t h e di vidend, for the account.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have not been very extensive, the dealers and speculators being chiefly engaged with the settle. rant. Prices, however, show rather more firmness. Lancashire and Yorkshire and North Western have each improved ss. ; Caledonian and Great West ern 1 0a., and North Stafford £l, while Great North ern A Stock has advanced 55., and Manchester, Slieffleld, and London, 10.

The Hochstift were not in any way concerned in the unpleasant occurrence which took place at the Shaksperian Festival at Frankfort on the 23d ult., but that, on the contrary, at their own festival on the 24th, every allusion to politics was carefully avaided, and nothing transpired which was not in strict keeping with the feelings expressed in their address , to the English nation, presented at the Stratford Festival by Professors Max Muller and Leitner, or in the speeches whicu those gentlemen delivered on that OCCAbiOn, June, 4 die 100 100 100 100 10t) BRITISH POSSESSIONS, Railways Dv Atlantic &St Lawrenc( skJ liom.,Baroda&Centlnc Gu. 5 per oent... 20 Do.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1864. 'his day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, Mr Knox said it certainly seemed as Mr Bliss had sug gested a partnership affair. .He would hear Mr Venning's case. Mr. Yenning, of Charlotte.street, Fitzroy-square, said the defendant offered him the duplicate of a painting for sale for a sovereign. He purchased the duplicate, and then redeerued the painting. He afterwards met the defendant, who asked him how he liked it. He told him very well, but that it required a little more finish. The defendant agreed to do " work" upon it for a few hours for 13s, and called and took the painting avay, at the same time asking for the advance of a shilling, as he was without food. The defendant never returned the painting, and he (Mr. Yen ning) had ascertained that he had pledged it at Mr. Lee's, Mary-street, Hampstead-road, and he believed the defen• dant would not deny doing SO. The defendant, after being cautioned by Mr. Knox, ad mitted he had pledged the painting for 10s. Mr Knox said Mr Venning'4 case was different to that of Mr Smith's. He thought these had better be an adjourn ment, to give the defendant time to come to an arrange- ment, as he supposed Mr Yenning did not wish to send the defendant to prison. Mr Yenning said he had no wish to do so. The defendant said he would restore the painting if he were allowed time. Mr Venning said the defendant had had plenty of time to restore it to him. Mr Knox said that, with respect to Mr Smith's case, it was clearly one for the county court, and not one that could be dealt with under the pawnbroker's act. He would there fore dismiss the summons. In the other case, that of Mr Yenning, he would adjourn the matter for a fortnight, and would advise the defendant to settle with Mr Yenning in the meantime. The summons was then adjourned. Mr Smith said the frames of the pictures in his case cost him 35s each, and he wished to know what he could do with respect to them. Mr Knox said he could make no order, THAMES. SHOCKING BRUTALITY TO WOMAN.--John Briant, aged 23, of Harn's-court, Ratcliffe, and James Connor, also 23, of No. 20, Schoolhouse-lane, Ratcliffe, both de scribed as labourers, were brought before Mr Partridge, the first charged with violently assaulting Catherine Duggan, a married woman, and the other with assaulting two police constables, and attempting to rescue Briant from their custody. The complainant said she was the wife of a boiler-maker, of No. 4, Glaeshouse-street, Rosemary-lane. On the pre ceding evening, between the hours of six and seveno'clock, she was passing along Cable-street, Whitechapel, with a female friend, and met the prisoners. Connor invited her and her friend to drink with him at an adjoining public house.. The invitation was accepted. Briant, who was the worse for liquor, followed them, and, without any provocation, used very bad language, and said he would kick her and mark her, He then hit her in the face and marked her, scratched it, and used the most infamous threats it was possible for a man to utter. She fell down, and her clothes accidentally came up. He then kicked her on the head, and she became insensible, In answer to the magistrate, the witness said that Connor did not lift his hand or foot against her, but pullel Briant away. Elixabeth Bliss confirmed the statement of Duggan, and said the kicking was most fearful. No provocation was offered by her friend. William Pye, p ol ice - constable, 87 H, said he was sent for to a public house, and saw the woman Duggan on the floor bleeding from th e f ace. She was covered with blood. She gave Briant i n charget and he took him into custody. Connor followed an d said let him go, and struck witness with a pair of b oots be had in his hand. Both Irishmen then!became ve r y o b streperous and noisy, and in a struggle which took place they all went down together. Briant called out for a knif e, and Connor said to him, "Be quiet, you fool." He procured assistance, and took both prisoners , to the station-house. last witness. William K enny, 390 11, confirmed the evidence of the Mr. Partridge sail there were some redeeming qualities in the conduct of Connor, Wh o h a d a ttempted to restrain the resistance of Bri ant. lie should take into consideration the favourable ci rcumstances in Connor's case, and fine him lOs only. With regard to Briant, he was justified in say ing that the prisoner's conduct was unmanly and diagram- Jul in the extreme. The prisoner had committed a most savage assault. A more gross case he had never met with The sentence on Briant was that he should be imprisoned in kept the to hard labour House of Correction for six calendar month s , an d MA.NSIaUGHTEI4. --This morning, Mr Partridge was informed that John Coghlan, a wire ropemaker, wh ose dying words were tak en down in writing, in presence of the magistrate yesterd ay eh ernoon, in the London Hospit a l, di had left hi m . worship epoor fellow's mind was wande r i ng , and h ptarefiatderree said lite WlCo4 Bc f ous when he l eft him yester daey3lrsaeo pr n ro d aa n no other result was to be expected.

AN ARTIST'S DIFFICULTIES.—SINGULAR CASE.--Mr • Henry Williams, artist, of 81, John-street, Tottenham. court-road, appeared before Mr Knox to answer three summonses, taken out by Mr George Smith, of Leicester street, Leicester-square, and Mr Yenning, of Charlotte street, Fitzroy-square, for unlawfully pledging three pictures, their property. Mr Smith said he was the owner of two pictures painted by the defendant, one of which was exhibited by the defen dant at the Academy, and the other ai Glasgow last year. The defendant got the one exhibited at Glasgow, and which he valued at £5 103, from the London agents. The other he paid the defendant LI for. They had both been pledged by th e d efendant, he Laying no right to do so, nor having any c l a i m upon them. Mr Willi am Th omas Bliss, manager to Mr Dobree, pawnbroker, of 69, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, pro duced one of the paintings spokm of by Mr Smith, and said it was pledged by the defendant in the name of Henry Williams, for 30s. Ile understood the defendant had a claim upon the picture—that Mr Smith had employed the defendant to paint it, and gave-him £4; that it was to be exhibited at the Academy and elsewhere, and that there was an arrangement between tie defendant and Mr Smith, that if any one purchased the picture, £l5 being set upon it as the price, the difference between the £4 and the £l5 was to be divided between then. The defendant said he resided with Mr Smith some time, and painted at least 30 pictures for him. At the present time same of his paintings was being exhibited at the Academy. He did not sell the paintings to Mr Smith, and he had a claim upon them, it being understood that if on being exhibited they sold for a higher price, the difference was to be divided between them. Mr Smith said that was not the case, and that he bought the paintings outright. In one case he sent four pictures to the Academy, and the defendant on the way pledged one of them in St. Martha's -lane. Mr Knox asked how the ddendant got possession of it, and Mr Smith said that it was a rule of the Academy only to receive the works from the artists themselves, and this afforded the defendant an oppwlunity of getting it into his possession, and that the defendant altered the inventory from four to three, BANE OF FRANCE.

The theatre was again crowded to overflowing on Thursday evening to witness a repetition of Mr. Dean's historical portrait of Louis the Eleventh. Having fully noticed the lifelike picture upon a previous occasion, it is only necessary to say that the points of the character were taken with the same intellectual appreciation, on the part of the audience, that so strikingly marked its first per formance. The event of the evening, was however, the handsome presentation of the nugget of gold to Mr. and Mrs. Kran, and the enthusiastic np plause, cheers, waving of handkerchiefs, and other demonstrations of approval that endowed the de livery of the address, is a very satisfactory proof that the compliments it contains is in strict keep ing with public opinion. Mr. Robert Lee Puer Trench read the following address : To Mr and Mrs Charles Kean. Your friends and admirers in Ballarat cannot permit you to leave this town without conveying to you the as surance of their respect and esteem, and expressing the extreme gratification you have afforded them in the display of your genius during your present visit. The crowded audiences which have nightly witnessed your admirable performances afford the best evidence that your noble art is justly appreciated in this goldfield. It cannot be the less gratifying to you to know that the suc cess which has attended your dramatic performances in Ballarat, as well as throughout the colonies, has been en hanced by the public appreciation of the private worth and social virtues which you have brought to the adornment of your profession, (Cheers.) We feel that the success to which we have referred is no less honourable to ourselves than to you, and we are espe cially proud that in no portion of the colony has that sun cess been more marked than in Ballarat. (Loud cheers,) We beg you to accept this nugget taken from our auri ferous soil, as a remembrance of your visit to our goldfield. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) We cherish the hope that when you have retired from the arduous labour of the profession you have so long and worthily adorned into the ease and comfort of private life, accompanied, as you surely will be, with that which you have already so well secured, "Honour, love, troops of friends," the recollection of your short sojourn in the metro polis of the goldfields will not be the least pleasing re miniscence of your professional career, (Cheers.) In now bidding you farewell we cordially wish you the enjoyment of health and happiness, and subscribe ourselves, with every feeling of respect and esteem, YOUR FRIENDS AND ADMIRERS. Mr Kean who was most enthusiastically received, and who was delayed for some time by the repeated plaudits of the audience, delivered the following address ; Mr. Trench, Ladies, and Gentlemen— I fear that I can but very inadequately express how gra fied and honoured Mrs. Kean and myself feel at the com pliment you have paid us. We are truly proud of such a mark of your favour and esteem, and beg to assure you that this will remain indelibly impressed upen our memory as one of the brightest days in the calendar of our lives. I arrived in Ballarat much enfeebled by a severe and serious illnass; but its pure and invigorating air, combined with the warmth of our reception, and aided by the exhi larating influence of the most brilliant success, has acted like a charm, and almost restored my wonted health and strength. (Cheers.) It is a matter of self-congratulation that we have been enabled to visit this extraordinary and most interesting city, with the hill of gold and mines of wealth—where all appears so new, so strange, so wonderful. (Cheers.) It strikes the stranger with astonishment to walk through your wide and spacious streets, adorned with hand some stone buildings, substantial shops, and noble edifices for the sick and poor ; to see the town teeming with life and animation, occupied by an active, industrious, and in telligent population; and to be reminded that scarcely more than 12 years ago this place was a lonely wilderness. Yet upon this spot, so recently a wild and rugged bush-land, now stands a temple dedicated to the drama, whose director, through the liberal spirit of the inhabitants, is enabled to pay us 4100 for each performance. (Loud cheers.) On Monday next we commence a farewell engagement in Melbourne previous ,to our final departure from the colonies. After which we purpose on our way home to visit another land of gold, Although I have passed nearly six years of my life, at different periods, in the United States of America, I have never yet had an op portunity of seeing California, but judging from the cordial reception extended to my wife and myself in all other parts of that vast continent, we have every reason to anticipate a generous welcome professionally and socially. But go where we may, we shall never, never forget our kind friends here, from whom we shall part with deep re gret. Let me assure you, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the precious gift you have this evening bestowed upon us will be retained with feelings of pride and gratitude while we live. When we are no more it shall descend as an heir loom in our family, to be regarded by those who follow us as an emblem of the "golden opinions" won by us in Ballarat." (Enthusiastic Applause.) Mr Hoskins then came forward, and said, "Mr Kean, I cannot permit this occasion to pass without thanking you for your liberality in playing for my benefit this evening, and at last consenting to remain for to-morrow and Satur day, after repeatedly refusing my offer of £230 for the two nights. (Cheers.) The deputations at last prevailed with you, and I am most happy you have consented, because I know the general satisfaction it will give the patrons of this theatre to behold yourself and Mrs. Kean in two such Shaksperian plays as King John and Macbeth. Indepen dently of the pleasure you have expressed at your visit to Ballarat, it must be most gratifying to you to find here so much appreciation of histrionic talent and such wealth to pay for it, particularly as Mr Coppin informs me that you have played one night here to larger receipts by nearly .C5O than in Melbourne or Sydney. (Loud cheers.) The remembrance of your visit will ever be a pleasing one to me, and I would fain express a hope that you have re-esta blished the taste for drama& literature here, and that the theatre may once again proudly hold its own among the temples dedicated to art in this young and flourishing colony. The curtain fell amidst the most enthusiastic applause and waving of handkerchiefs. The nugget presented to Mr. and Mrs. Kean was a specimen of gold and quartz, found about six months ago in New Chum Gully, and bought by Messrs. Witt sko wski Bros. and Co., from whom it was purchased by the presentation committee for one hundred guineas. The specimen measures 4.1 inches by 31 inches, and is of a rough oval shape, the intermix ture of white quartz and pure bright gold being very beautiful, We take the following summary of news from the .211e/bourne Argus of the 24th of March:— "The Parliament has adjourned. " The last Act of the Legislature before the recess was adopting in both Houses the following series of resolutions, proposed by Ministers, on the sub ject of transportation, in reply to a despatch from his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, received by the January mail : " ' That as the despatch from his Grace the Duk e of Newcastle to his Excellency the Governor Sir Charles Henry Darling, dated 26th of January, 1861, on the subject of transportation of criminals to the Australian colonies, states the determination of the Imperial Government to send convicts, to a limited extent, to the colony of Western Australia, it is resolved by this House— " 'l. That while we desire to acknowledge the consideration which has been paid by her Majesty's Government to the remonstrances of the people and Parliament of Victoria against the continuance of transportation to Western Australia, we learn with deep regret the deternaiqation of her Majesty's Go vernment to maintain the existing system, by which upwards of 500 convicts will be sent annually for an indefinitive period from the United Kingdom to the shores of Australia ; and we earnestly protest against that determination. " '2. That while we disclaim any general right to dictate to her Majesty's Government what shall or shall not be done throughout the whole of Aus tralia by the Government of the mother country, we insist upon our right to press upon the attention of her Majesty's advisers the injurious effects to this colony of the policy upon this question adopted and persevered in by the British Government. " 3. That we deny the right of the colonists of Western Australia to calculate upon the continuance of the policy which was initiated ac an experiment a few years ago, and which has produced effects of a mischievous nature to the subjects of her Majesty in the other colonies of Australia. "4. That while we earnestly desire that the loyalty and goodwill which have hitherto united the people of Victoria to the Crown and to the empire should continue unimpaired, we are constrained to record our belief that so long as any convicts are transported from Great Britain to the shores of Aus tralia, the feelings of attachment of the people of Victoria to the Crown will be mingled with a deep sense of unmerited wrong inflicted upon this colony by the advisers of her Majesty. " 5. And that an address embodying the fore going resolutions be presented to his Excellency for transmission to the right hen. the Secretary of State for the Colonies.' "The formation of the Murray River Railway northwards of Sandhurst is progressing so rapidly that the line will be opened for traffic as far as Rochester, within fifteen miles of the Murray, in about three months, and almost to the banks of the river by the commencement of the next wool season. A difficulty is likely to occur with the New South Wales Government on the subject of the border duties, and it will be aggravated by this event. The trade of the Riverine province now passes almost exclusively through Melbourne. The completion of the railway will secure to this port the little that passes it now; and Victoria is naturally indisposed to hamper her trade by the imposition of duties not recognised by her own tariff, and to be levied on goods just ss they cross the northern border of this colony. We are likely to urge in vain the assimi lation of the tariffs, the free trade policy of Victoria being regarded with less favour in New South Wales; and our neighbour will no doubt be left to collect her own dues by the establishment of a line of custom-houses along the northern shores of the Murray, which will cost more to maintain than the duties they will collect will cover. "The war in New Zealand approaches its termi nation. The tactics of General Cameron compelled the rebels to abandon their great fortifications at Paterangi. Following them by a night march, he surprised them at Te Awamutu, and again at Kihi- Kihi—the country of Rewi, the great engineering chief of the Ngatimaniapotos. General Cameron now occupies the cultivated grounds of that tribe, which are the largest and best hitherto possessed by the Maoris. The soldiers are now preparing for winter quarters, and have possession of the shores of pota toes and corn, and herds of cattle, on which the rebels mainly depend for subsistence. The rebels have now taken to the swamps and mountain fast nesses, and may protract the war for a time, but their final submission, without much further blood shed, is expected." WORKING MEN'S CLUBS. Yesterday the third and concluding day's conference on working men's clubs and institutes was held in the Whit tington Club, Strand. The Earl of Lichfield presided, in the absence of the Dean of Chichester, who was unavoid- ably absent. Various ra iscell an eons questions were dis- cussed, and resolutions for the guidance and government of clubs were agreed to. In the evening the proceedings were brought to a close by a conversazione in the large hall of the club, and which was attended by the Bishop of London, Lord Fortescue, the Rev. Robert Maguire, M.A., the Rev. H. Solly (secretary of the Working Men's Club Union), Mr. J. Slaney Pakington, and by many ladies and gentle men interested in this movement. After a concert, in which various pieces were sung by members of the Work ing Men's College choir, the Shoreditch Club choir and by others, Lord Lyttelton took the chair, and opened the pro ceedings of a public meeting by detailing the general objects of the Working Men's Club Union. Mr. J. S. Pakington described the business which had been transacted at the Conference, and which, he said, had been of a thorougly practical character. Lord Fortescue moved a resolution, pledging the meeting to support the efforts being made " to aid working men in establishing clubs and insti- tutes calculated to promote the social, mental, and moral advancement of the industrial classes," The Hon. and Rev. S. Best seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Bambridge, a working man, who, on behalf of his order, thanked the ladies and gentlemen who had aided the working men in the establishment of the club, and by the Rev. H. Solly. The motion was carried. The }3 shop of L, iondon, who was received with loud cheers, proposed b : re solution, "That the meeting trusts the future progress oi this movement may be commensurate with its high impor tance." He said he suspected that the many difficult ques tions which he had found connected with this subject had not been solved during the 10 years he had been in London, One of those difficulties was the exclusiveness which was apt to spring up, and which found its way in every sort of society. Mechanics' Institutes showed how this spirit would creep in, for these institutes were, as their name denoted, formed for mechanics ; but, somehow or other, they had now got into other hands than those for whose benefit they, were originated. This was caused perhaps by those institutes having a tenden ,y —a good tendency —to raise persons who as they rose, were apt to look down upon those below them, and were not disposed to sit down with working men of a lower grade. Was there not, he asked, the same difficulty with regard to these clubs ? Working men were spoken of as if they were one class ; but the fact was, taking the term to mean those to whom it was generally applied, it was his experience there were as great variety among them as among other classes of society. He had found the working weavers of Carlisle, whose earnings were from 5s to 10s a week, and he knew not how they kept body and soul together on such pittances, were capable of making good speeches, and were men in every way deserving of respect, but he had seen that there was a wide difference between them and the working men in other and larger towns. The Working Men's Clubs, he urged, must be made to take in all classes of working men or the system would not be perfect, to consider the docx labourer in East London and the market gardener of Fulham, and include in fact the very poorest classes of the towns and the agricultural population of the country. He also urged that care should be taken ~to bring t h e young within the scope of the clubs, and he praised the institutes formed at the Savoy and in Islington for this special object.He further said that one club with which he had been ast:egt stretch out e. were h e e baud or con nected notpersonsthe working not livingm en hbayd weekly discussed wages the questiond b e o n whetherthe d to so con considered it would be for the glory of E committee.

(Before Sir J. Y. Wilde and a Common Jury.) HICK V. HICK AND KITCHEN. This was a suit by the husband , a turner and ironmon ger at Leeds, for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the corespondent, a dyer in a large way of business at Leeds. Both defendants denied the adultery, recriminated the charge, and further alleged cruelty and misconduct conducing to the adultery. Mr Field, in stating the case, said that the parties were married in January. 1859, and there were two children issue of the marriage. The husband treated his wife kindly, and they appeared to live on happy terms until last June, when the petitioner discovered circumstances that induced him ro suspect his wife's infidelity. The corespon dent was introduced to the petitioner shortly after the mar riage, and then became a frequent visitor, particularly dur. ing his absence. Edward Packe, a clerk in the bank of Marsham and Co., Leeds, proved having been present at the marriage, but could not say on what terms the parties lived afterwards. The petitioner had a shop in St. George's-street, and a pri-. vats residence at Blundell-terrace, Leeds. Mary Ann Turner was in the petitioner's service in 1861, and shortly after she went to the place Mr. Kitchen used to come frequently. When Mr. Hick was at home he remained only a short time, but when he was absent he used to stay for a considerable time. She heard " a scuffling noise" while Mr. Kitchen and Mrs. Hick were in the parlour together, and when she entered the room they both rose from the sofa. On another occasion she had seen Mr. Kitchen's dress disordered, and she had seen him and Mrs. Hick kissing each other. Winifred Brown said she had seen Kitchen. frequently at the petitioner's house. On one occasion she discovered them in a bed-room, and under circumstances that could leave no doubt of the nature of the intimacy that existed between them. Mr Overend, for the respondent, said he should not deny that adultery had been committed ; but then the respondent was about the last person in the world who should have come into this court to seek for damages for the loss of his wife's society. The petitioner had himself been a most abandoned person ; and he should call before the jury evi dence to prove that the petitioner was in the habit of attending the most immoral places in Leeds, in the com pany of women of the most disreputable character. After the jury had heard the evidence ho felt they would at once assess the damages at the lowest coin current in England. The trial was proceeding when we went to press.
